If you want the ultimate in compatability and stability buy an Intel processor, mount it on a genuine Intel motherboard and you'll get what you want. It may not be the fastest kit on the block though and you will certainly pay a premium for the priviledge.

AMD have come a long long way in the past few years and in my experience the stability and compatability of a well constructed AMD system will give an Intel system a good run for its money today.

I have often wondered just how much of this "instability and incompatability" is chipset related and has nothing to do with the processor?

VIA too has come a long long way in the past few years but I think that they still have a long way to go before they can match Intel in the chipset business.

Possibly a fair comparison of stability and compatability between Intel and AMD processors would be to run them both on non Intel chipsets?

Yes computers would have AMD chips in them if there was no Intel............

Actually if Intel didn't exist, neither would AMD. All Computers would be running on processors developped by IBM or some other company who based processors on thier design.
The early years of AMD up until the Super Socket 7 chips were all based on Intel's designs. They just modified it in some way and resold it.

Isnt it amazing that I just bought a celeron 1ghz with new motherboard because my old mboard was a horrible piece of dead crap that only had 1 32 bit pci slot when i need one for both my graphics card and my networking card (the mboard was so old it didnt have agp).
